Anything I can contribute?

From

Date:
Hi,

My name is Deng Kaisheng, a graduate student in National University of Sinapore (NUS) now major in computer science. I've read the introduction of your organization and I'm quite interested in what you're doing.

I want to do something and contribute to the community, and I wonder if there is something I can do. I major in computer science since undergraduate with a solid foundation in CS, and I'm also confident in my fast-learning skills. I have programming skills in C++, Python, Java, Objective-C, etc., and database skills in MySQL and Cassandra.

I wonder if your organization is going to take part in the GSoC 2022, if possible, I would like to contribute to your project in GSOC 2022.

If you are interested in knowing more about me, please see my attached resume. I am looking forward to your reply!

Best regards,

Kaisheng

Hi Kaisheng,

Glad that you are interested in contributing to postgres. There are
many ways one can contribute such as authoring a patch, reviewing
others' patches, documentation, performance testing etc. If you would
like to start with reviewing the pn-going features and their patches,
the list is here in the commitfest site -
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/. The on-going commitfest is
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/35/ and the up-coming one is
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/36/. Feel free to pick any feature
that interests you, start reviewing the patches and post your comments
in the hackers list.

Regards,
Bharath Rupireddy.

I wrote a complete article on this topic not a long time ago [1]. Hopefully, no one will object if I link it here.

Good luck and looking forward to your contribution!
